Step 1: Programs

And you need the .Net framework 2.0 (you can download that by Microsoft, it's free)

OK, once you downloaded the program, install it (to the the default directory, or the server won't work!!!)

You are ready for the next step!

Step 2: Map-data

You will need the WHOLE map-data of WoW (in 2.4.2 ca 941 MB, make sure you have enough space!). You can collect that from your WoW installed on your computer. Go to the "C:/AC Web Ultimate Repack/ Tools/Map Extractor enUS" directory and copy "maps" and "ad.exe" to your directory (default: C:/Program Files/World of Warcraft/), then start "ad.exe". This app will collect the map-data (it takes some time).

Hey, this is a great instructable and is very informative. Just one thing is missing... pictures! It really helps a lot when trying to follow directions so you should consider taking some photographs. Once you do that and leave me a message when you have so that we can publish your work. Thanks! Thanks for the cool instructable and we hope to publish this soon!

Ok so I did everything like it said, but when I try to login with 'admin/admin' it says "Unable to validate game version. This may be caused by file corruption or the interference of another program." I've got my firewall off. Plzz help.

Hey guys. come join Devil Hills WoW. its a good classic WoW server. if you are interested go to http://devilhillswow.weebly.com/ Come on guys give the newbies a chance. we've also got a poll. be sure to vote our server there.

your guide is very good! but i have one problem, when i run Ad.Exe the Commandthing opens and closes in 0.01 sec, i've been able to read ( by holding enter so i spam open the window ) and it says ( i think )

'' could not find Data/common.mpq-2 '' do you know what that means ? :O

Yeah, mine does the same thing. I took a screen shot of it, and found that this program only works for versions 3.0.0 and above. Meaning, you most likely need WOTLK. I only have to TBC, so, now I need to go and buy WOTLK so that this will work. This is mainly because the file Data/common.MPQ-2 cannot be found in my version of WoW, so the program is terminating itself. If you have TBC, then yeah, you'll need WOTLK. If you have WOTLK, then maybe you need to update it a bit? I'm not sure. Hope this helped. :D

Make sure you have not moved your AC web file from where you originaly downloaded it o because then the file path from your AC control panel will not be able to find it and it will say Mysql unable to start.

Ok, I got everything done just fine. When i log into wow it comes up with my realm, only when i select it i get disconnected. Now i have turned my firewall off. i do not use a router as i have Verion Mifi. Can any1 tell me how i can fix this i have read the other comments but they are too scattered to tell who is replying to who. Please email me if you can help jrclayt@gmail.com

So, i'm not sure if it's wrong, i haven't let it actually complete, but i let it run for a full day straight, i didn't screen what it was at, but it keeps saying "Creating output file maps/map_22673336.bin over and over, each time 0 of (more and more) tiles are available, is this usual?

I'm assured that this DOES NOT work for 3.3.5. I had problems with "Unable to validate game version," then once that got fixed it was stuck at connecting. Even after trying to port foward to all the of the ports above.
